The Valentine Gift (Poem)

[Joolesgreyuk]

Today on the eve of St Valentine

I had to go look for a gift

I had no idea what I was seeking

a nightmare, you get the drift.

A supermarket, gift shop, men's clothing,

musical and department store,

I tried them all but to no avail

you've been there you know the score.

A special something for the man in my life

it had to be chosen just right,

couldn't wait to see the expression

when presenting said gift tomorrow night.

Then reward from trawling the shops,

a gift to make him sweet!

It's not exactly to make him smell nice

more an expensive treat for his feet.

I didn't expect an ovation,

a cuddle or even a kiss

but it seems the gift I had chosen

has become a bit of a miss.

when put in it's rightful place

my valentine had taken fright,

his brand new java perch scared him

and caused him take off in flight!

 

Yes you guessed it, I got Beau a new java perch today LOL

When the poem first started out I thought you were talking about finding a gift for your hubby but lo and behold that special man you are talking about is none other than Beau, Steve move aside.:whistle:

 

Did you write this Jules?

[Joolesgreyuk]
